I'll start by saying that I love Angel's Envy Rye (which is also finished in rum barrels), but I don't love the price at around $85. I was excited to see two new rum-finished ryes hit the market this year, first the Redemption and now the Tempelton. While all 3 are made using MGP-sourced 95/5 rye, they are different ages with different amounts of time spent in rum barrels. Angel's Envy is 6-7 years old and finished for 18 months in rum barrels that previously held Cognac. The Redemption is just 2 years old and finished for just 3 months in Jamaican rum casks, so it's very young with a very short finish (and it's not very good). This Templeton Rye Caribbean Rum Cask Finish is 6 years old and finished for 6 months in dark Jamaican Rum casks. The additional age and the additional finish puts it miles ahead of the Redemption, and I'd say about 70% as good as the Angel's Envy - though it's not quite as dessert-like, maybe due to the lack of the Cognac notes. But what you do get are your classic MGP rye notes up front, with a nice finish of tropical fruits, coconut, over-ripe banana (think banana bread), a bit of orange zest, and oak spice. Really, really tasty stuff, and I highly recommend giving it a shot if you're a fan of the Angel's Envy Rye. I was lucky to find this for just $29.99, which is an absolute steal since that's cheaper than the regular Templeton 6yr Rye, although I've seen it as high as $49. I'd say it's a buy at anything under $45. My rating of 4.25 reflects a base rating of 4.0 at MSRP, with an extra .25 for value based on what I paid.
